Whether conservative or not, the case is poorly postured for a successful appeal. But I don't claim to be an expert on the specific facts, and did not read the trial court decision.
Most district judges in Texas are very careful when it comes to their decisions since the 5th Circuit court is not shy about overturning their decisions if they get "creative".
